Русско-турецкая война 1686–1700 годов.
This collective monograph is the first scholarly study of the Russo-Turkish War of 1686– 1700, the least-known and most-protracted of Russia’s wars against the Sublime Porte and the Crimean khanate. The authors’ systematic investigation of the course of military events during the entirety of this 14-year-long conflict interweaves analyses of the largest and best studied Crimean (1687–1689) and Azov (1695–1696) campaigns. It also brings to light the heretofore unacknowledged importance of the campaign of 1697, which was Russia’s most serious contribution as a member of the international coalition known as the Holy League. The work also deals with the mechanisms of military planning, the evolution of both internal and external ideology, and the influence of war on the relations between Moscow and dependent political formations (such Caucasian tribal polities, the Ukrainian Hetmanate, and the Kalmyk Horde). One of the central tasks of the study is to show the role of the war in the process of creating the political and ideological bases of Russian foreign policy in the era of Peter the Great. The book is intended for historians, specialists in Russian foreign policy and military history, as well as anyone interested in the history of Russia.
